CamH Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Any 240SX TPS ought to be good enough for MegaSquirt. They were all variable so any one that you can find that is still functioning will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82 turbo z Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 so the top one will be fine with the plug built in not plugged in and the pigtail part wired into megasquirt?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamH Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Yup, just wire it straight to the MegaSquirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mario_82_ZXT Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 You don't need a TPS for megasquirt. It's nice for like flood clear but that's about it. If you really want to use it it's the pigtail connector that you use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamH Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I felt like it was easier to set my accel settings with a TPS instead of MAPdot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOZ UP Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I felt like it was easier to set my accel settings with a TPS instead of MAPdot +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zack_280 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Also at Autozone the TPS for the Automatic 240SX (the one in you pic with the switch contacts) was $25 and the one without for is $40. Guess which one I bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82 turbo z Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Yea ill probaby use the one i have if its easier to tune and set stuff up with then. Real quick question off topic... If im running a wideband would that take place of the o2 sensor or should i run both and where have yall put the CLT and IAT? thanks so much this is really clearing up a lot!
